technology to improve. Contestants submit a game description, game
video, and access to the game itself. The games will then be
evaluated on fun factor innovation, and production quality.

Ten Finalists will be invited to attend a presentation of their
games at the YetiZen Innovation Lab (

extensive game industry experience. Two Winners, one from the
Google Play market and one from Windows RT market, will be selected
to receive the Grand Prize.

1-on-1 mentorship with leading industry veterans, over $25,000
